JR Pass - 14 days - Travel OptionsHi, I was wondering if it was worth it to purchase the 14 day JR pass for my trip in September and if there were any other travel pass options going from Tokyo to Kyoto. My current itinerary with estimates from Hyperdia (using JR lines) is as follows: Sept 15 - Narita Airport to Kobe - ¥14800 Total ¥30500 (approx. $380 CAD) Do these estimates from Hyperdia sound correct or are there additional fees I'm missing i.e. seat reservations? Would it make more sense just to buy train tickets as I go? Thanks! |

Hi there, I calculate your trip costs as:
JR ticket cost: ¥33630 for 6 legs
So only slightly more than you have calculated - I'm not sure what I missed, but it could simply be variation in time of travel and overall routes selected. Looking at these costs, I think that purchasing JR tickets as you go makes more sense than a 14 day pass, however if you can squeeze your trip back up to Gunma onto the 21st, then you would make good savings of around ¥5000 with a 7 day pass and maintain some travel flexibility. This will very much depend on the flexibility of your plans however. Hope this helps! |
